Understanding the urban dynamics of the 20th century: The Modern Times
Hi
Tomorrow (9 February) after a brief introduction on the changing dynamics of 20th century industrial capitalism we're going to watch Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times together. It is important that you read Chapter 3: The Making of the 20th Century World because you will have an assignment. While watching the movie I will want you to observe certain dynamics that your reading material nicely provides. We'll mainly focus on the Fordist production methods and what Fordism has changed for the urban society and the city itself. The Modern Times provides a very nice summary of these dynamics. And it's fun!
So please come to the class being prepared and, if you like, you can bring drinks and finger food because we're not going to have a break!
See you tomorrow
Dr. Tuna Tasan-Kok
